3. Functional Description
3.1 Introduction
The CPC7512 Dual, 1Form-A, Shunt-Isolated
High-Voltage, High-Frequency, Analog Switch has two
symmetrical switch arrays with four operating states to
facilitate switching of high-frequency, high-voltage
signals using the AB and C switch states and the
flexibility to provide a variety of alternative switching
solutions for low-frequency high-voltage signal
applications. Operational states and logical behavior
of the device is shown in the “Truth Table” on
page 8. Switch organization consists of two channels,
each having three switches.
Within each channel there is an independent LATCH
input and a common Thermal Shutdown circuit that is
shared by the two channels. Other than the shared
TSD circuit, switch functionality under normal
operating conditions within each channel is
independent of the other channel. In designs where
the switches will be required to carry high load
currents or operate in higher temperature
environments, the thermal specifications should be
reviewed because the TSD circuit is shared by both
channels. An excess thermal condition in one channel
resulting in an active TSD event will cause an
interruption in the other channel as well when the TSD
protection circuit activates.
Solid-state switch construction of the CPC7512 offers
clean, bounce-free switching with simple TTL logic
level input control to provide access to high voltage
interfaces without the impulse noise generated by
traditional electromechanical switching techniques.
TTL logic level input control eliminates the additional
driver circuitry required by traditional techniques.
The low on-resistance (R
ON
) symmetrical linear
switches utilized in the AB switch state are configured
as matched pairs, SW1
A
/SW1
B
and SW2
A
/SW2
B
, for
improved performance when differential access is
required. Their symmetrical construction provides an
additional degree of design flexibility allowing either
side of the switch to be connected to the high voltage
network.
Integrated into the CPC7512 switches are high
frequency dynamic current limiting and thermal
shutdown mechanisms to provide protection for the
electronics being connected to a high voltage network
during a fault condition. High frequency positive and
negative transient currents such as lightning are
reduced by the dynamic current limiting function while
protection from prolonged low frequency power-cross
and DC currents is provided by the thermal shutdown
circuitry.
To protect against a high voltage fault in excess of the
CPC7512’s maximum voltage rating, use of an
over-voltage protector is required. The protector must
limit the voltage seen at the switch terminals to a level
less than the switches’ breakdown voltage. To
minimize the stress on the solid-state contacts, use of
a foldback or crowbar type protector is highly
recommended. With proper selection of the protector,
telecom applications using the CPC7512 will meet all
relevant ITU, LSSGR, TIA/EIA and IEC protection
requirements.
Operating from a single +5V supply the CPC7512 has
extremely low power consumption.
3.2 Under-Voltage Switch Lock-Out Circuitry
Smart logic in the CPC7512 provides for switch state
control during both power up and power loss
transients to prevent undesired connections to high
voltage networks. This is done by setting the switches’
logic to the All-Off state. An internal detector evaluates
the V
DD
supply against internally set thresholds to
determine when to de-assert the under-voltage switch
lock-out circuitry with a rising V
DD
, and when to assert
the under-voltage switch lock-out circuitry with a falling
V
DD
. Any time unsatisfactory low V
DD
conditions exist,
the lock-out circuit overrides user switch control by
blocking the external information applied to the input
pins, output by the internal latch, and conditioning the
internal switch commands to the All-Off state. Upon
restoration of V
DD
, the switches will remain off until the
LATCH
x
input is pulled low at which time proper
conditioning of the Sx
IN0
and Sx
IN1
inputs must be
made.
The rising V
DD
lock-out release threshold ensures all
internal logic is properly biased and functional before
accepting external switch commands from the inputs.
For a falling V
DD
event, the lock-out threshold is set to
assure proper logic and switch behavior up to the
moment the switches are forced off and external
inputs are suppressed.

3.3 Switch Logic
The CPC7512 under-voltage switch lock-out circuitry
monitors the V
DD
supply to ensure proper and safe
switch behavior whenever the supply voltage is
inadequate.
Under normal V
DD
supply conditions data applied to
the Sx
IN0
and Sx
IN1
inputs is controlled by the LATCH.
The LATCH, depending on the logic level applied to it’s
control input LATCH
x
, will either block the input data or
pass the input data to the switch control logic. Once
the input data is passed to the switch control logic, the
value from the inputs will be locked by the LATCH
when the LATCH
x
control is asserted to a logic HIGH.
3.3.1 Data Latch
The CPC7512 has two integrated transparent data
latches, one for each channel. The latch-enable
operation is controlled by TTL input logic levels at the
LATCH
x
pins. Inputs to the data latch are via the Sx
IN0
and Sx
IN1
input pins while the data latch outputs are
internal nodes used for state control. When LATCH
x
,
the latch enable control pin, is at a logic 0 the data
latch is transparent and the input control signals flow
directly through the data latch to the state control
circuitry. A change in input will be reflected by a
change in the switch state.
Whenever the latch enable control pin is at logic 1, the
data latch is active and the control data is locked.
Subsequent changes to the Sx
IN
input control pins will
not result in a change to the control logic or affect the
existing switch states.
The switches will remain in the state they were in
when the LATCH
x
changes from logic 0 to logic 1, and
will not respond to subsequent changes in input as
long as the LATCH
x
is at logic 1. TSD however is not
constrained by the latch function. Since internal
thermal shutdown control is not affected by the state of
the latch enable input, TSD will override state control.
3.3.2 TSD Pin Description
The TSD pin is a bidirectional I/O structure with an
internal pull-up resistor sourced from V
DD
. As an
output, this pin indicates the status of the thermal
shutdown circuitry of the CPC7512. During normal
operation this pin will typically be pulled up to V
DD
but
under fault conditions that create excess thermal
loading, the entire device will enter thermal shutdown
and a logic low will be output at TSD.
As an input, the TSD pin can be used to place the
device into the All-Off state by simply pulling the input
low. This is a convenient way to temporarily place the
device’s switches into the off state without the need to
cycle the inputs and LATCH controls through an off
and then an on sequence. When TSD is released, the
device will revert back to it’s previous state.
When using TSD as an input, IXYS Integrated Circuits
Division recommends the use of an open-collector or
an open-drain type output to apply the logic LOW.
Forcing TSD to a logic 1 or tying it to V
DD
does not
affect the CPC7512 thermal shutdown functionality.
The device ignores this input level and still enters the
thermal shutdown state at high temperature. In other
words, the thermal shutdown feature can not be
overridden by an external pull-up on the TSD control.
3.4 Power Supplies
Only a +5V logic supply and ground are required by
the CPC7512. Switch state control is powered
exclusively by the +5V supply. As a result, the
CPC7512 exhibits extremely low power consumption
during active and idle states.
3.5 Protection
The CPC7512 provides protection for both the low
voltage side circuitry it connects to high voltage
networks and itself. Two separate layers of protection
are interleaved within the device to protect against
high-energy high-frequency transients and
high-power, low-frequency fault conditions.
3.5.1 Dynamic High Frequency Current Limit
While in a closed switch state, high-frequency
high-energy current is restricted by the CPC7512. For
the telecom GR-1089-CORE specified +
1000V
10x1000s lightning pulse with a generator source
impedance of 10 applied to the high voltage network
though a properly clamped external protector, the
current seen at the CPC7512 low voltage side
interface will be a pulse with a typical magnitude of 1A
and a duration less than 0.5s.

3.5.2 Thermal Shutdown
The thermal-shutdown mechanism activates when the
device’s die temperature reaches a minimum of
110°C, placing the device into the All-Off state
regardless of logic input. During thermal shutdown
events the TSD pin will output a logic low with a
nominal 0V level. A logic high is output from the TSD
pin during normal operation with a typical output level
equal to V
DD
.
If presented with a short-duration transient, such as a
lightning event, the thermal-shutdown feature will
typically not activate. But, in an extended power-cross
event the device temperature will rise and the thermal
shutdown mechanism will activate, forcing the device’s
switches to the All-Off state. At this point the current
into the active switch will drop to zero. Once the device
enters thermal shutdown, it will remain in the All-Off
state until the internal temperature of the device drops
below the de-activation level of the thermal-shutdown
circuit. This permits the circuit to autonomously return
to normal operation. If the fault has not passed,
current will again flow and heating will resume,
causing the thermal-shutdown mechanism to
reactivate. This cycle of entering and exiting the
thermal-shutdown mode will continue as long as the
fault condition persists. If the magnitude of the fault
condition is great enough, with an external
over-voltage protector present, the external protector
will activate shunting the fault current to ground.
3.6 External Protection Elements
The CPC7512 requires only over-voltage protection
on the high-voltage side of the switch. Additional
external protection may be required on the low-voltage
side of the switch if the threshold of the high-voltage
side protector exceeds the safe operation of the
low-voltage side components. Because the fault
current seen by the low-voltage side protector is
limited by the switch’s high frequency dynamic current
limit, the low-voltage side protector need not be as
capable as that of the high-voltage side protector. The
high-voltage side protector must limit voltage
transients to levels that do not exceed the breakdown
voltage or input-output isolation barrier of the
CPC7512. A foldback or crowbar type protector on the
high-voltage side is recommended to minimize
stresses on the CPC7512.
3.7 Thermal Design Assessment
A successful design utilizing the CPC7512
High-Voltage Analog Switch Array is dependent on
careful consideration of the application’s environment
and the device’s thermal constraints. For matters
regarding the electrical design, this is simply a case of
following the parameters provided in the preceding
tables and for many this will be sufficient. However,
those designers wishing to push the operational limits
envelope with higher switch current and/or higher
ambient operating temperatures will need to consider
the thermal performance.
Being a real physical device the CPC7512 has a finite
thermal capability that when properly considered will
ensure appropriate behavior and performance.
Determination of the thermal constraint is easily
accomplished using the following power equations:
and
Where is the dissipated power drawn from the
V
DD
supply and is the total power dissipated by
all active switches. The V
DD
power can be calculated
from the “VDD Voltage Supply Specifications” on
page 7 while the power dissipated by the switches is
the sum of the concurrently active switches. Total
switch power is the sum of: the squared maximum
current through each active switch times the
On-Resistance of the switch (I
SWx
2
xR
ON
).
The second equation is used to calculate the
maximum ambient temperature the device can be
operated in based on the calculated total power of the
previous equation. P
TOTAL
, the value obtained in the
first equation; T, the junction temperature rise of the
CPC7512 from ambient; and
JA
, the thermal
impedance of the device package are used to
determine the maximum operating ambient
temperature.
